British Defense Minister John Gealy is sure that the administration of the future US President Donald Trump will remain committed to NATO and Ukraine. This is reported by Reuters.
According to him, Trump recognizes that countries gain security through force, as well “as Alliances such as NATO do.”
“I expect the US to stand by allies like the UK and support Ukraine as long as necessary to defeat the invasion (Russian dictator Volodymyr – ed.) Putin,” Gili emphasized.
He noted that the commitment to NATO and European security will remain strong under the Trump presidency, even though he has said for some time that European countries should increase defense spending.
“I do not expect the USA to turn its back on NATO. They recognize the importance of the Alliance and the need to prevent further conflicts in Europe,” the head of the British Defense Ministry emphasized.
Trump’s “peace plan” for Ukraine – what is known
Donald Trump has repeatedly promised to end the war in Ukraine in three or even one day if he is re-elected as president. He assured that he could do it even before the official inauguration in January 2025.
On November 6, The Wall Street Journal reported that Donald Trump’s advisers put forward different versions of the plan to effectively freeze the front line in Ukraine. One of them envisages Ukraine’s refusal to join NATO for 20 years.
According to the publication, this plan includes freezing the front line and creating an 800-mile demilitarized zone (almost 1300 km). In addition, it provides for Russia to leave approximately 20% of the territory of Ukraine, which the aggressor country seized.
On November 7, it was reported that the Office of the President of Ukraine doubted the plausibility of this plan.
The Economist reported that officials in Ukraine rely on two public formulations “peace plan” of Donald Trump.
In turn, The Telegraph reported that Trump’s plan may involve the deployment of European and British troops in a 1,200-kilometer buffer zone between the Russian and Ukrainian armies.
Trump plans to bring Russia and Ukraine to the negotiating table in the first days of his return to the White House, writes the Associated Press.
